Medical City Arlington has named Keith Zimmerman as its chief executive officer, effective April 1. He replaces Winston Borland, who will retire on March 31.
Zimmerman has served as CEO at Medical City Children’s Hospital since 2013. There, he has guided women and children’s services for the entire Medical City Healthcare division. He also oversaw development of a $125 million women’s hospital that’s scheduled to open in 2018, as well as a 156,000-square-foot expansion of the hospital’s Building E tower, which debuted in May 2016.
Under his leadership, Medical City Children’s was ranked among the best children’s hospitals in the country for the first time by U.S. News & World Report. The ranking came after the hospital broadened its urgent care network and increased the depth of physicians and specialists in women’s services and pediatrics.
Zimmerman says he looks forward to joining a team of “highly skilled healthcare professionals, developing new strategies and serving the Arlington community with excellence always.”
He brings 26 years of healthcare experience and plans to continue his focus on strategic growth, collaboration with physicians across a complex array of specialties, and providing exceptional patient and family care in his new role.
Zimmerman holds an MBA in healthcare management from Regis University in Denver and an undergraduate degree in business administration from the University of Louisiana.
